I’m a tiger I spends months home with my family. We live in a very isolated country. I leave for long periods to hunt bad people. I love intuitively finding real bad people. I don’t have to show any restraint, cause they will do what they can to escape,but I catch them hurting families, children, or animals. I use to be a very scary child, but now I’m very powerful tiger.

I dreamt of a tiger grab me and drag me through pool of water. I calmly repositioned myself and as he jumped out again jump on his back. A gesture that I was not afraid. He then gently imprinted my right hand. I saw the imprint and cannot describe it. I feel pretty calm and balanced in my awaken life. Am I missing something. N.B.

I had a dream where two cats were dueling with swords in a castle. The good and stronger one was yellow, and the evil and slightly weaker one was orange. They fought to the death, and the orange one destroyed the base of a pillar to let it fall on the yellow one, and the orange one killed the yellow.

There was once that I dreamt that I was running away from some guy and came across this mansion, I thought I could hide in there. Then when I passed the threshold, three tigers emerged from the front door, a red,blue and yellow. I was very scared as they all came stalking towards me. Then in a flash, I was lying on the ground bloodied and dead, the three tigers circling me. Then I woke up, does it meant that something bad is going to happen? I’m very worried as this happened just after I took a very important exam.

I saw a tiger in my neighborhood being taunted by people. They tried capturing the animal, but foolishly failed. No deaths or killings happened, the people would run then come back to taunt the creature like its a game.

There was a horizontal 5 foot tall fence, it seems like the tiger tried to climb over it but it’s lower paws would get stuck in the fence. I was in a glass room with my wife and kids watching this event unfold. I saw some guy took advantage while the tiger’s bottom paw was stuck in the fence. The guy grabbed and pulled the bottom paws and wedged them in the gate deeper. The tiger roared, it didn’t swipe. The guy ran from the roar, and then came back. It eventually got free, and chased some of these people who where taunting it in circles.

Later I saw myself with my wife and kids riding in the back of a luxury car. And through the window I saw a populated neighborhood block where there was a baby tiger running up the left side away from us. Later I saw a full grown male on the right side moving away from us. And again no one was attacked, and it seems less people were fritened this time. Then suddenly this guy emerged from the same neighborhood block with a friend walking towards us, a person I don’t like and don’t get along with. He did look concerned about the Tigers being there, but was joking about it to his friend.

Hi, I just had a nightmare. Dream was that I was on my way to office early one day. I stopped my car a long way back before my office and started walking down this road beside a beautifull cliff. Then I remembered I forgot the keys. As I was walking back I saw lights (sunrise) coming up on the left and I though it would be awesome to take a pic so I ran up the road and towards to open cliff. Just then there’s thunder and lightning happening but I’m Still running towards the cliff, I narrowly missed falling down but kept running towards my car I suppose. Just then I saw a tiger also running across me and it got scared seeing me,cos I kindof raised my hands and made a screaming noise at him. It ran a bit and I knew it’s gonna come back at me. I got ready to go head to head and then I woke up. What does this mean?

When someone hurting me and fighting me I really felt upset and angry but I always kept calm and down to earth even that someone make mistake and insult me, but there’s always behind me, helping me specialy when I said go it’s your turn to revenge he run fast and make a karma to that person hurting me!I’ll always see a big tiger run fast to them!sometimes a strong wind!

At the age of five, I saw a tiger at the foot of my bed. It was purring loudly and reclining with his/her paws in the frontal position. I remember that I needed to walk by the tiger in order to make to bathroom. I was not frightened at all, just a little surprised that there was a live tiger near my bed. I decided to go back to sleep and see if he or she was still there. I now realize that I was given a special opportunity to meet my animal guide at such a early age.
